    I was thinking that might help, like getting the CCHF to make a video about it, but I think it will fall by the wayside like all videos right after Tisha B’av

    what I think is needed is have their rav give speeches with all the other ravs (1 sfardi, 1 ashkenazi, 1 lubavitcher, 1 MO)

    or have the rav make it a point to do it then everyone will see it

    This is one of my all time favorite vorts (which I’ll be saying at my Bro-In-Law’s sheva Brachos)

    The Passuk says Ki Yikach….V’Hayah Im Lo Simsa Chein B’Einav

    also another passuk says Ki Yikach….U’Saneiah

    the passuk is teaching us a fundamental yesod, if you’re looking for a wife in a way of kicha (scrutinizing your purchase, like a lot of people do when they buy a car or a house)(the wife is too short (clearing throat)) then this will happen, either getting a divorce or hating her.

    however there is a passuk in Mishlei, Matzah Isha Matzah Tov

    If you look at your wife as a metziah (not interested in fine detaills, like all metziahs) then all you would find is tov

    (it’s interesting to note that by ki yikach it says the passuk says matzah bah ervas davar)

    It is quite known that the Steipler said that in all of Lakewood only two people married their zivvug rishon!!

    when and where did he say this and why did he say Lakewood and not Bnei Brak where he’s from

    mr taxman,

    so ur saying you can do it if you want to

    I’m saying it doesn’t seem like people in these communities in Brooklyn want to

    the question is how do we get them to want to

    mr taxman,

    that’s like saying how does someone break an addiction?

    simple, just do it

    I don’t think anyone will because they already have an aversion for it

    thats a good question AYC

    This reminds me of a song that I was thinking about yesterday by Abie Rottenberg on Journeys about a sfardi and a chosid who try to ignore each other but sing the same song and realize because of it theyre both jewish

    I’m not sure what the circumstances are that led you to that neighborhood/city. But have you thought about relocating? (at least once your child gets a little older)

    to exactly where?

    I would not shelter children from guns. I had them in the house, the children were aware of what they were for and what they can do, and the respect and caution required. Lelamed es benei Yisrael keshes, halo hee kesuva al sefer Hayashar.

    and for those of us that don’t have guns ourselves what do you suggest

    exactly mytake

    That’s what I’m worried about

    (Hopefully it won’t be a problem b/c Moshiach will be here before my kid goes to school, however he already knows about elmo)

    I hate to say this, but Brooklyn has this reputation of being VERY unfriendly. They never say Good Shabbos unless they know the person. There is no out of town community that behaves like that, and the further you go from Brooklyn, the friendlier they get! I think individual people just have to start being nicer, in order to change Brooklyn’s reputation. Then maybe we can expect Mashiach!

    actually, to tell you a story I had over Shabbos while I was in Flatbush, while I was walking home from Hashkama (around 9) and people were going to shul, I said good Shabbos to people as I passed them by, some people didn’t answer me but others did and one person even greeted me before I had a chance to say good Shaabos

    like let’s say there are a bunch of kids on the block or in his school that watch tv (fairly common in oot day schools where there’s a mix of kids) and then the kids make certain references to tv shows and your kid repeats it how do you teach him that it’s not proper to do it yet at the same time show that the other kids aren’t bad and you shouldn’t hate them

    I think I heard a speech by Leib Keleman that he said that when you need Hashem the most it feels like He’s not listening to you, it could be the same thing when you give tzedakah that Hashem is testing you regarding why you are giving tzedakah)
